Some veterinarians are restricted from recommending CBD for dogs due to local legislation, although laws are quickly acknowledging the value of CBD for use in animals.

Additionally, some veterinarians may not be aware of CBD's potential benefits. In some cases, your dog may have a condition or be on medications that would interact negatively with the addition of CBD. An examination from a veterinarian is recommended prior to using this product.

The best CBD for your dog may be different based on the goals you have for your pet.

CBD products for dogs derived from organic, full-spectrum hemp are generally well-regarded. Whether you're shopping for chews or oils, you want to make sure you find a "full-spectrum CBD" product.

Full-spectrum oils contain a broad range of cannabinoids found naturally in the hemp plant, which may work together synergistically — this is commonly referred to as the "entourage effect."

It depends on your dog, and the type of results you're looking for. In terms of supporting a calm disposition, some owners notice changes within 30 minutes for some dogs.

For supporting normal mobility and everyday comfort, results may take a few weeks to become noticeable. It's also important to note that all dogs are different, and some dogs may not respond with benefits.

For those that do see improvements, benefits may peak after a few months of daily use. With consistent use, these results may continue to support your dog moving forward.

Side effects are rare, and they tend to be mild when they do occur. In most cases, a side effect is digestive upset, and this may be due to the carrier oil used in the product your dog is taking.

Lolahemp uses fractionated coconut oil as a carrier oil, which tends to be mild on dogs' digestive systems.

Apart from digestive upset, there are no widely reported negative side effects of CBD for dogs. It's still always important to check with your veterinarian before use, especially if your dog is taking medications or has pre-existing conditions.

Research has shown, and continues to show, that CBD is generally considered well-tolerated by dogs for regular daily use. [Reference: "CBD appears to have good bioavailability and safety profile [in dogs]"]

CBD can interact with medications processed by a liver enzyme group known as CYP450. This doesn't mean your dog can't use CBD — it just means it's wise to speak with your veterinarian, especially if they're on prescription medications that influence this enzyme group.

Yes — our tinctures come with clearly marked droppers (in milliliters) which align with our dosage guidelines.

Our chews are pre-dosed (either 3mg of CBD or 6mg of CBD, depending on the strength), and they're deliciously flavored so dogs love them.

Ingesting even high amounts of Lolahemp products is very unlikely to be dangerous in any way. If a dog has a little too much CBD (5–10mg over the suggested dosage), you are unlikely to notice anything unusual.

In extreme cases where a dog ingests a large amount of CBD, you may notice some lethargy and drowsiness, and potential digestive upset. In these cases, you should contact your veterinarian and monitor your dog for any symptoms other than the ones listed above.

CBD's immediate effects for dogs may last from 4 to 8 hours, depending on the dog. For supporting normal everyday comfort, the most consistent results tend to come with daily use as the benefits may build over a period of months.

While the core compound (CBD) is exactly the same, the additional ingredients and compounds in human CBD products may not be appropriate for dogs.

• Human products may contain higher concentrations of CBD.
• Human products may have high levels (above 0.3%) of THC, which can be concerning for dogs in large amounts.
• Human products can have flavoring agents or other aspects that aren't formulated for dogs.

The bottom line is, products formulated for humans are not designed for dogs because there's no way of knowing if all of the ingredients are appropriate for your pet.

While we can't guarantee results for every single dog, we can say that the majority of customers we help say they see positive benefits.

Some benefits are considerable, while some are milder. All dogs will respond differently based on their unique individual makeup.

So there is a good chance that our products may help, but there's always a chance that they won't. That's why we offer our 90-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked.

Our hemp is USDA-certified organic, and we use human grade ingredients across all of our formulas. While not every single ingredient is certified organic, every one is chosen for safety, quality, and effectiveness.
